  I can not prevent people see a deleted CV file on my wordpress page when they google it. Here is the link:

  I deleted it permanently from Media > Library > Permanently delete. How can I prevent them this link above doesn’t work?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That link produces a 404 (page not found) now. To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
